How do you have a tie for individual position????
It is interesting. I wish there was video of the finish. In the end it doesn't really matter though, BYU got 6th and 7th for 13 points, whether it is 6+7 or 6.5+6.5.

Stanford women sure did play a game of brinksmanship this season.
Without a top-2 finish today, they don't advance to NCAAs.
Pretty sure JJ had them sacrifice Pac-12s to go all-out for this morning's race.

Its owned by the race director. He was a great runner. As for software....
I understand why BYU uses DP for every little meet, but for regionals they really should have gone with something more up to date.

Why would they need to "sacrifice" Pac-12s to run well today? Is there any reason they can't try to run well at both? Colorado (and others) never seems to have a problem running well at Pac-12s, regionals, nationals. Or at least attempting to run well at all three.
This just in from the Men's race at the Mountain Region
According to the website nobody has any idea what's happening.

This gets the results out quickly so that they are not held up by using photo-finish cameras (and maybe they don't even have them. The BYU runners do not really need to be separated and they might even have been holding hands but others might get done but if it does not affect the outcome of the meet it is not a priority.
Runnercard is down again. Just before it went down they were showing three Texas Tech women as 1-2-3 in the women's race. I wouldn't trust anything they have shown so far.
In any case three of BYU's top five women (Orton, Halladay, Lee) did not run today.
Portland over oregon men is a surprise.
Washington also did better than expected
Does this mean Oregon men wont make it?
runnercard.com is a poor performing website.
Can't see the Mountain Region results at all.

He'd had nine or ten chances to get it right.

Nico definitely had been saving something so far this year. 2 seconds back on the 24 year old junior and championship favorite is a great place to be.
So we know
1) Mantz (BYU)
2) Young (NAU)
3) ? (BYU) Casey Clinger?
4) . purple jersey. Maybe Christian Allen From Weber State
5) Herrera (CU)
6) Nur (NAU
Just going off this video.

Appalling. Runnercard has one job.

Except they don't have one job. The owner is the race director. He hired himself knowing his priority that day would be RD not Runnercard. BYU should be left out the NCAA just for this..LOL
They're probably combing over videos such as the one posted above, and watching this thread for runner IDs.

Yes.
Early season issues now resolved.
Trained through Pac-12s to get back into top racing condition.
At Pac-12s, ladies went out hard then all faded at the end to finish 5th.
Today, a more conservative approach worked very well, especially given their collective increased level of fitness.
We know JJ Clark can recruit, especially mid-d women.
This race certainly substantiates his abilities to coach longer distances.

JJ has always struggled to coach XC, given the talent he's had on the track. This was a great race. We'll see what happens at nationals. That'll be the determinant if JJ has figured out the XC formula as well as he has on the track.
